Fictional Stories in Science
Using Fictional Stories as a Pathway to Science Content
“Tools Rule!”
Such a cute story where the tools are the main characters! I can just picture the PreK-1st grade students really loving this story’s cartoon-like illustrations, while raising their hands to tell you which ones they have seen at their house. 🙂 Using a combination of onomatopoeia and figurative language, this book would really excel as a read aloud, so the facilitator can seize those language based and science based teachable moments. This story would also connect well with student story telling, students sharing their unique background knowledge, and students using their knowledges in the classroom for a STEM lesson partnered with oral language and writing development.
